The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the series “Blackadder” as well as the famous films

13、“Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill. Richards idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Ethiopia. Its called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day tak

14、es place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money” and the money collected was used to help fund projects

15、 in the following areas: treating malaria, education, maternal health and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day telethon raised 74.3 million!

16、ne.Getting sponsored to do something is a common way to raise money on RND If someone sponsors you it means that they agree to give you a certain amount of money for your actions.

20、f Chicago, Illinois, US, can thank three canals every time they drink a glass of clean water today. The building of the Illinois-Michigan Canal, the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Cal-Sag Canal all helped the Chicago River start flowing in a different direction in 1892.Since their construct

21、ion over a century ago, these waterways have connected Lake Michigan and the Mississippi river network and ensured a regular flow of fresh water of Chicago.However, some unusual and unfortunate side effects have also been created because of their construction. Asian carp(鲤鱼), also known as silver or

22、 flying carp, are threatened in their native habitat in the Chinese Heilongjiang, Yangtze, and Pearl River basins. But they have become increasingly successful at filling the Mississippi river network since first being introduced into Arkansas catfish farms in the 1970s to control algae(水藻). By swim

23、ming into the canals and spreading further across the country, there are now major fears that this introduced species may be able to access Lake Michigan and the wider Great Lakes - which store an incredible 21 percent of the entire worlds fresh water.“The actual influence of Asian carp on the Great

24、 Lakes has yet to be explained clearly, and we think this uncertainty is part of the reason why they are such an obvious issue,” says Dr Cory Suski, Associate Professor in the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Sciences at the University of Illinois. He points out that adult Asian carp

25、are too large to be hunted by anything locally, that they have a prolific(多产的) reproduction rate, and they can steal food from the other native species in the rivers. “Could they survive in the Great Lakes or is there not enough food for them?” he asks.Stopping the fish from spreading has therefore

26、become a key concern for local lawmakers, who have made efforts such as building electric fences in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. However, any big efforts to stop the carp - such as allowing the Chicago River to once again flow in its original direction - would in turn threaten the security o

27、f the citys water supply, replacing one big problem with another.1、According to the text, the construction of the three canals .Achanged the direction of the Mississippi river.Bbrought fresh water to the people of Chicago.Clasted for almost a century because of huge cost.Dhas been the largest constr

29、cern of Asian carp in the US?AIts large size and fast reproduction rate.BThe food shortage facing the species.CIts threat to the Great Lakes ecosystem.DIts natural enemies in the local areas.4、What can we infer from the last paragraph?AUS law makers knew little of the threat caused by Asian carp.BEl

30、ectric fences might not be enough to stop the spread of Asian carp.CThe Chicago River has changed its flowing direction many times.DPeople in Chicago will soon face a serious water supply shortage.23（8分）A walker seriously injured in a mountain-top lightning strike which killed two others is showing

31、signs of improvement, the police have said. A major rescue operation was performed on Sunday following two strikes which hit the Brecon Beacons, South Wales.

32、eous (同时发生的) incidents in the Brecon Beacons, has now improved and he is recovering. Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing. All men were believed to be from England.”Mark Jones, of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team, described the l

33、ightning strike as a freak accident, and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service.The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents involving thunder and lightning were rare, electrical storms should be taken seriously by walkers.The organisations delivery officer, Ell

34、y Hannigan Popp, said, “Wed advise everyone to check the weather forecast before starting a walk. If you hear thunder, see lightning or if your hair stands on end, postpone activities even if the sky looks blue and clear. Lightning will strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Lightning can

35、 strike the same place repeatedly especially tall, pointed, isolated objects.”“If there is no shelter you should keep moving. And if you become the tallest object, crouch (蹲) in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall. Make yourself as small as possible, stay on your

39、love himself and will be successful in his own way.Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he

40、 didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I

41、was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits,

42、 and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his ow

43、n way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and thats just the way I want my kids to live t

47、y listening to the train guards announcement. Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an announcement, whether its the recorded message or the guards message, few people listen to it, because its often quite dull or hard to understand.
